Not beta. Mine does the same. But what mine never does is show any + % for some reason. It always just shows +0 and is gray
You have to kind of experiment in how you swipe to the right. Mine will only display those stats if I keep my finger on the screen holding that screen in position. Once I release my finger, the display bounces back.
Yeah, that's what mine does as well. It's not sticky, just goes back as soon as I take my finger off it
I see. I thought swiping like you swiping between page in Safari. Yes, mine does as well.
But what do these calorie number and percentage mean? I guess the first number is "average" and percentage is what changed from previous week?
EDIT: Oh no, I get it. The first is your target weekly move goal.
Did not know that, either. Cool stuff!
- The absolute figure is your Move goal for the week. The percentage figure is the change in your Move goal from the previous week. If you didn't change your Move goal, it will say 0% and be grey.
I thought the move goal was supposed to adjust though? Mine never does. I have doubled it and at times tripled it, but it doesn't budge from where it is at
- It will only adjust if you do it. Each Monday, you get your Weekly Summary where it will recommend a new Move goal based on your performance the previous week, but you have to hit "Update" yourself.
Alternatively, if you just want to do it now, deep press in the Activity app on the watch and select "Change Move Goal".
Okay, I knew that you could change it manually, but I guess I thought it would pop up something, asking if you wanted to accept the new goal. I didn't realize you had to set it yourself based on the weekly summary. Thanks!
- That's exactly what it does at the bottom of the Weekly Summary you get on Mondays. It will recommend a new goal, and then you can hit "Update" if you want to accept it.
You're welcome.
OK. But I hit "Update" and it hasn't changed at all, despite the fact that I have exceeded it for 6 weeks and counting now. When I look at the weekly summary, it tells me my avg. calories, which are well above the current move goal and lets me know that I beat last week's move goal 7 times, which is the same it has told me the previous 5 weeks. But the move goal has remained constant. I am confused about why it isn't updating.
Edit: Interestingly, I manually adjusted the goal by 10 to see what would happen. About 5 minutes after I did that, I got a weekly summary pop up with a new move goal. It seems as though it is now unstuck.

My wife's still is not updating. She hit the update button and nothing. Tried manually adjusting it as I did too, but she didn't get the follow-up like I did. I will have to have another look after work.
Could it be related to the fact that we never took Apples suggestion from the start, so it has always just figured we wanted to do our own thing?
- I doubt it. Even if it were, the manual configuration should still work.
Try restarting the watch.
The manual configuration works, if she wants to manual set it for a desired goal, but for some reason hitting update, just causes it to refresh with no change in goal. That was what mine was doing as well, but after doing what I described above, it now appears to function as it should.
I will have her restart her phone and watch and see if it resolves as well.
